btw. if you use KDE and kiosktool, you can get into any profile you've made and change it further, manually by editing the files in: /etc/kde-profile/THE-PROFILE/share/config/... many things are not visible through the GUI ! tip: <a href="http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdelibs/kdecore/README.kiosk?view=markup">http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdelibs/kdecore/README.kiosk?view=markup</a> another tip: i've removed the option to change Desktop Envirument from the Circles login theme i use by editing the file : /usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/circles . so users can't change to gnome on login. (after one of the students showed me how the use gnome and not kde :-) <div> On 12/11/06, Mel Wade <<a href="mailto:mel@melwade.com">mel@melwade.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Thanks for the tip. I've come to really appreciate the Kiosk control in KDE. That ended up being the only desktop we allow and I have the whole thing configured and locked down easily.
